Four million nuclear jobs by 2050: Who will do them?
Industry leaders from around the globe met this month to discuss the talent development that will be necessary for the long-term success of the nuclear industry.
The International Conference on Nuclear Knowledge Management and Human Resources Development, hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, was held in Vienna earlier this month. Discussed there was the agency’s forecast for nuclear capacity to more than double—or hopefully triple—by 2050 and the requirement of more than four million professionals to support the industry.

Calculations with the STCP version of MARCH were performed as part of the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) Analysis Exercise. In the light of the present knowledge of what happened at TMI-2, a number of modeling enhancements were found necessary to interpret the accident. These enhancements and the results of calculations are described. The modified version of MARCH reproduced many of the key accident signatures, including the timing of core heatup, reasonable predictions of the core melt and cladding reaction fractions, the primary system pressure, and the hydrogen release to the containment, which eventually produced a burn at 10 h.
